Great Plains Renaissance Festival

Elves, trolls, wizards and knights are just some of the characters that will be walking around Sedgwick County Park while music and the smell of firewood fill the air.

All of this is part of the Great Plains Renaissance Festival, which will be taking place this weekend. The event has a number of things in store for its expected 12,000 attendees including jousters, musical acts and fire breathers.

The festival itself has seen a number of changes during the past 14 years.
